Good On The Outside

So, as there is so much in the news recently about the “dangers” of cannabis, I thought I’d provide a list of links to various studies of the herb and it’s potential medicinal use.

Before I do, we must remember that cannabis has been deemed by the government to have “No medicinal value”. However, GW Pharmaceuticals have already been using cannabis based Sativex to successfully relieve muscle spasticity in MS patients. Their trial of Epidiolex in epilepsy patients is already showing promising results in patients who do not respond to the range of available prescription drugs.

“No medicinal value” my arse.

Please take your time to work your way through this extensive, but not exhaustive, list.. Within you will find evidence of CBD induced apoptosis (cell death) in cancer cells (healthy cells left in tact) as well as many other medicinal uses for this wonderful herb.

I’m not a smoker (or a toker) I don’t use cannabis, but I sure as heck won’t rule it out once it becomes a mainstream medicine.

Respectfully, I would offer another response to this girl’s honest and heartfelt question:

After a hug, of course. . .

1) Children suffer because communities do not work together with commitment to end the suffering

2) Children suffer because governments expend so much more money on power, wealth and the military that there is little left for helping poorer citizens

3) Children suffer because religious institutions (especially…
